Nagios XI Restore Failing

[brdr]

Hi,

We use XI 5.4.3.

I'm following the prescribed Nagios document on restoring a backup onto an fresh XI instance. The I'm getting this error (see last 2 lines). The password has not changed from the default. Any idea why I would be getting this error? Thx.

plz close. I simply manually started service mysqld to create file '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'. Then ran the restore script again, which allowed the restore to complete successfully.
